Mission Statement and Calendars!

Wonderful to meet everyone. What an interesting and resourceful group of individuals; I'm excited to be working with you!

Jeanette, Kathleen, and I are working on a first draft of a mission statement for our organization. Here is a very rough starting draft:

GR4SF is an alliance of individuals from construction, architecture, landscaping, advocacy, and the general public working together to promote green roof adoption in San Francisco. Passionate about their economic, energy-saving, habitat creation, and water-saving benefits, we strive to advance the understanding and implementation of green roofs in San Francisco by building broad awareness, gathering and disseminating technical research, and advocating for governmental policies. Our goal is to influence green roof adoption so as to see _% of new roofs in San Francisco installed with at least _% of their square footage dedicated to a living roof.

Meanwhile, I couldn't resist purchasing a quantity of Green Roofs of the World 2010 calendars! I'll be giving these as holiday gifts to lots of friends. If anyone wants one I can bring any extras I have to our next meeting. If you can't wait, they're available at greenroofs.com

Happy holidays!
Pam
